To all whom 'it may concern." I

Be it known that I, JOHN W. WrNGER'i, a citizen of lthe United States, residing at Hoisington, in the county of Barton and State` of Kansas, have invented'a new and useful Improvement in a Garment-Standl of which the following is a specification. j

This invention relates to garment stands and more particularly lto folding stands; the object being to provide a stand for holding coats and pants which can be easily and quickly folded into a very small package so Y thatit can be readily carried in a suit-case or satchel.

Another object of my invention is to provide the stand With an adj ustable' coat hanger and pants stretch' ing means. j i

With these various objects in view,` my invention consists in the employment of a folding stand having an adjustable coat hanger arranged adjacent its upper end provided with slots to receive the buttons ofthe pants, clamping means arranged adjacent its lower end adapted to receive the bottom of the pants, said stand being provided with v adj usting` means for raising the coat hanger for stretching the pants.

' The invention consists also of the novel features of construction hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings forming a part of this specilicationz Figure l is a perspective view of my'mproved garment stand. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view. Fig. 4, is a iront view of the 30.

stand. Fig.4 5 is a detail vertical sectional view. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of my improved stand, folded.

` Referring to the drawings A, indicates the base of the stand having an upwardly extending tube B; secured thereon, carrying a sleeve C, provided with aset-screw C/, and bifurcated apertured spaced lugs C2, inwhich the upper ends of the legs Dare pivoted, which are connected to the base A, by braces D. The base A, is provided with upwardly projecting arms A', having roughehed surfaces and are provided with inwardly extending bolts E, on which are slidably mounted arms F,having roughened surface s and being provided with cam faces adapted to be engaged by cam levers G', mounted on said bolt and securely clamp the arms together. i j -rThe Vupper end of the. tube B, is provided with a thumb-screw B, adapted to engage a rod H, mounted therein on the upper end of which is secured-,a tube I, by a thumbfscrew I, having a threaded lupper end adapted to fitin a threaded opening in a lug of a ring J, securedin the cap K. Curved plates L, are pivoted to the Acap K, by bolts K, forming shoulder-supportswhich are provided with spaced slots L', along their edges adapted to receive the buttons of the pants, and

` support the same. The under side of the plates L, are

'and a cap adapted to be locked furc'at'ed apertured lugs l of the sleeve N, adjustably mounted on the tube I, by a thumb-screw N2.

. Shoulder members O, provided with spaced slots O are mounted on screws O2, on the under side of thel plates L, so that the shoulder can be adjusted to any width desired so as to suit the shoulders of different size coats.

A cap P, is adapted to tit over the cap K, when the stand is set up and is provided with bayonet slots Pf, at its edge in which the screws L3, of the plate L, are adapted to iit and inclose the stand when in a folded position as shown in Fig. 6, sothat it can be readily carried.

From the foregoing description itcan be readily seen that by securing the button oi the pants in the slots inv the plates and clamping the buttons loi the pants in the clamp, that the pants can be stretched by adjusting the rod between the tubes. i

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patents is 1.'In a device of the kind described, the combination with astand provided with a cap, of plates hinged to said cap provided with slots adapted to receive the suspender buttons, of a pair of pants, and means for clamping the bottom of the pants carried by the base of the stand, for

`the purpose described.

2. In a device of the kind described, the combination with a stand, and a balse provided with pants clamping means, of a cap mounted on said stand, plates hinged to said cap provided with slots adapted to -receive suspender buttons of pants, sliding outwardly extending members carried by said plates, and means for adjusting said plates,

- for the purpose described.

3. In a device of the kind described, the combination with a folding stand, of a cap Vmounted on said stand, curved plates hinged to said cap provided with buttonsecuring slots, adjustable members carried by said plates, pants-clamping means carried by the base of the stand over the end of said cap, for'the purpose described. 4. In a device of the kind described, the combination with a base provided with an upwardly extending tube, of legs carried by said tube connected to said base, arms pro jccting upwardly from said base provided with bolts, arms slidably mounted on said boltsprovided with cam-surfaces, cam `levers mounted on said bolts A adapted to engage the cam surfaces of the arms, and coat and pants supporting members adjustably mounted on said tube forv the purpose described. v

5. In a device of the kind described, the combination with a base mounted on legs, of pants clamping arms carried by said base, a tube extending upwardly from said base, a rod mounted in said tube, a tube mounted on said rod provided with a cap, plates hinged to said cap provided with button securing slots, and Vsupporting arms connected to said plates adjustably mounted on said' tube, for the purpose described.

6. In a device of the kind described, the combination with a base provided with an upwardly extending tubJe, of a rod mounted in said tube, a tube mounted on said rod provided with a cap, curved plates hinged to said cap -provided with button securing slots, shoulder-members slidably mounted on said plates, supporting arms carried by said plates and pants clamping arms carried by the base for the purpose described.

7. In a device' ot the kind described,v the combination' with a base 'provided with an upwardly extending tube, of a sleeve mounted on rsaid base provided with legs connected to saidybase. an upwardly extending rod mounted in said base, and a tube adjustably mounted thereon provided with a sleeve, a cap secured on the upper end of said tube, curved outwardly extending arms embracing andrpivotally connected at their inner ends to said cap, supporting rods pvqtally connected at one end to thefinner faces of said curved arms, and at thesother end to asleeve carried by said tube, 'said curved arms being provided 4with 'IJ-shaped slots for receiving and securely holding the suspender the lower ends of said arms, for
